Below are some photos from the recently held SharePoint 2010 & K2 Breakfast. All in all it was a great event and well timed with the RTM versions of both SharePoint 2010 and the Office suite being made available the evening before for MSDN/TechNet subscribers (We were able to demo on SharePoint Server 2010!).

Thanks once again to all of those who attended as well as the great support from K2 and Microsoft for the event.

Microsoft SharePointis an integrated suite of server capabilities that can help improve organizational effectiveness by providing comprehensive content management and enterprise search, accelerating shared business processes, and facilitating information-sharing across boundaries for better business insight. SharePoint 2010 facilitates business collaboration in the broadest sense and helps colleagues, partners, and customers to work together in new and effective ways.

K2 (Blackpoint, Blackpearl and Connect)is a complete software platform for automating business processes, building SharePoint workflow solutions and integrating with third party systems including direct support for integrating Microsoft solutions into SAP.

After trying what was suggested there (i.e. stsadm –o installfeature –name DiscussionsList) as well as deactiviating/activating/uninstalling/installing features, we finally noticed that the DiscusssionsList Feature.xml last modified was far too recent so we copied a version down from another working server and after reinstalling etc, creation of a site based on the Team Site template worked again, but the TFS error persisted.

Further troubleshooting ensued including, but eventually we tried the SharePoint Inspector as suggested here, which is rather useful for providing a hierarchical and visual drill down of various sharepoint objects. We then ran through all the features used by the TFS site template in question, deactivated/activated etc, but still no change. Eventually it turned out that the IssuesList Feature.xml had also had itself changed somehow, so pulling this down from a working server and doing the same as for the DiscussionsList Feature.xml finally resolved both errors.

The Scope and Hidden settings specifically had been modified, presumably by someone during some previous troubleshooting and/or development. They're built in files so this shouldn't have happened, but hope this at least saves someone else the wasted time and effort.
